In the previous article, we discussed how and why patron experience is important in the competitive world of hospitality. As digital dependency rises in the hospitality industry, internet connectivity has become increasingly crucial. Hotel patrons expect seamless, high-speed internet access throughout their stay, and meeting these expectations requires leveraging advanced network connectivity technologies.
Achieving connectivity excellence in the hospitality industry requires comprehensive network technologies and solutions designed to provide guests and staff with fast, reliable, and secure Internet access.
In this article, we explore the technological arsenal that hospitality providers can use to achieve connectivity excellence. Consider the following list of essential components for a technological arsenal in hospitality connectivity:
High-performance Wi-Fi solutions like Wi-Fi 6 offer faster speeds, lower latency, and better performance in high-density environments, all ideal for modern hotels. They provide enhanced support for multiple devices and ensure a smoother experience for bandwidth-intensive applications like video streaming and online gaming.
Seamless roaming and mesh networking technologies are also essential in hotels, to provide uninterrupted connectivity throughout the establishment. These solutions allow devices to switch between access points without dropping connections, ensuring guests experience consistent and reliable Wi-Fi as they move around the premises.
To build a robust hospitality network, a reliable wired backbone is essential for supporting wireless networks, to ensure stable and high-speed data transmission. This involves using high-quality switches and cabling.
Effective network management is crucial for maintaining hospitality connectivity excellence. Advanced management systems provide real-time monitoring, analytics, and troubleshooting capabilities. Some solutions include:
Hotels handle vast amounts of sensitive patron information, including personal data, payment details, and preferences, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. Implementing robust security measures and protocols such as Secure Guest Authentication, Network Segmentation, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) is essential for protecting network infrastructure and ensuring a secure environment for both guests and staff.
